In the wake of the Take Back The Night marches across our country and, I believe, our continent, marches that empower women to take back the night, I thought it is prime time to point out that one of the most empowering shows for women ever made it debut 20 years ago today.
Give or take.
It was in the fall of 1989 that Baywatch hit the air.
Snicker if you want but when you deconstruct the program you will realize that I am right on about this.
The women in Baywatch were making vital, life saving decisions on a regular basis, treated as equals in their employment field. They were powerful athletes in control of their workplace and lives for the most part.

896...I Am On The Wireless Tomorrow Morning
www.ckcufm.com
93.1 in Ottawa/Gatineau.
With Concillia Muonde to talk about Take Back The Night which goes down on Thursday. It is a march where women TBTN. No dudes, just womyn marching in many cities in our country [and their country too] to TBTN.
Although I am not a fan of anything that is exclusionary, I think that selecting out is counter productive, I am a big fan of Concillia Muonde and am glad to get the word out.
Later in the hour that starts at six I will have Neil deMause from www.fieldofschemes.com to get his view on the Lansdowne sitch in Ottawa.
For those of you not current on Lansdowne, it is one of the most important pieces of public land on the continent. A public park since 1868 Lansdowne is up for a well need refitting. The question is who is going to do it and who is going to pay for it.
Look, federal money is going to be involved so if you are in Moose Jaw, Halifax or Saanich-Gulf Islands this impacts you.
